I wanted to develop a solution with avoided the postgresql step (which was
awkward to configure), and go from OSM to mapnik via shapefiles instead.
Part of this is for Freemap but part of it is to develop an easy solution
that anyone who wants their own custom Mapnik/OSM maps can use without too
much awkward configuration.
